I thought they were the same, and the SC just swapped it out and into the replacement yoke/wheel. But I hope you're right, in which case when they finally to make the new wheel or yoke available in the Tesla store, it will hopefully be closer to that $700. I'd rather change cars than pay $1800...

The problem is that the updated wheel and yoke use a different airbag, so it will be more expensive ($1800 from the rumors).

About 8 months into the refresh Model S. Got used to the turn buttons fairly quickly, but still find myself with the wrong signal on here and there when coming out of complex driving situations where your muscle memory and/or intuition takes over. I can live with that, but there have been many...

Could be because there is a new version of the wheel coming in the Model S/X refresh-refresh, with airbag horn and a button for the camera. Hopefully that new wheel will be available as a retrofit for all the refresh S/X's.

That's pretty common, they quote the price of the repair even if/when covered by warranty. It ends up as $0 on the invoice.

Yup, the service center "adjusted" a sheer plate and the noise disappeared.

One way to deal with the rattle is to have your service center fix it under warranty. It’s a known issue, and I just had had mine done. They replaced the latch mechanism on the drivers side and the entire seat back on the passenger (as that side is an integrated unit). No more rattles.

I have a feeling that the standard 320 mile rated range will be closer to what you can actually get in the real world vs the long range 405, plus given it’s most likely software limited, you can charge to 100%. And for long trips, that 405 rated range is actually overkill given how...

Hi Shawn, sorry, I just decided that I'd rather wait until I have the new wheels on next week before pulling the trigger on selling the Tempests. Will let you know when they're back for sale.

I just posted a listing for mine, in the Chicago area. 3K miles, with the Continental ProContact RX tires if you're interested: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/marketplace/19-model-s-refresh-plaid-tempest-wheels-tires-with-3k-miles-chicago-area.201/

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 19" Model S refresh/plaid Tempest wheels + tires with 3K miles (Chicago area). Please add to the discussion here.

Yeah, there's a lot of talk about more competition and other factors, but interest rates are the single biggest reason the Model S and X aren't selling as well as before. Most people finance cars, and higher interest rates make the more higher ends ones especially out of reach. FWIW, Elon was...

I ended up buying a late 2022 MS LR with under 3K miles and FSD from an Audi dealer who just wanted it gone, for 60% of the original sale price. Even with the price drops since late last year, that's insane depreciation (probably 50% based on what the guy probably traded it in for). Happy to be...
